This past weekend, as we were out shopping picking up a few thing I happen to see Elf on the Shelf when we were in the book section of the store. I have seen the photos on Facebook and Pinterest of Elf on the Shelf. Standing there at the only girl elf on the shelf, I said this year since we will be moving to another country, this would be a neat way to keep holiday fun for toddler girl. So elf on the shelf, made its way into our shopping cart.
Meet Sparkle! So far she has not cause too much trouble, but I will share Sparkles adventures here in Japan and on her travels this holiday season. After reading the book with toddler girl and finding out she could not play with her or even touch her, I change the rules just a little. That on the airplane, she could hold Sparkles hand and Sparkle would share a little of her magic with her. We have some international travel ahead of us and if Sparkle helps to make the flight and travel go smoothly, then let's touch Sparkle. I'll be posting Sparkles adventures on the Life of Creed Facebook page and Instagram. Make sure to check it out and follow us.
Do you participate in the Elf on the Shelf fun during the holiday season? Why or why not?

Bruce Pavitt / Adam Farish
This is an encore presentation of The Andy Derer Show from July 2016. Here are the original show notes:
This week Andy had a blast speaking with Bruce Pavitt and Adam Farish of the music tech start-up 8Stem! Bruce Pavitt already changed the rock and roll world with his Seattle-based record label Sub Pop (Nirvana/Soundgarden/Mudhoney/Sleater-Kinney) and he is now spreading the word about 8Stem, a new music format where the listener has the power to remix and interact with the track being played. To make things even more user-friendly, 8Stem will be available as an application on your smartphone! Bruce and his 8Stem business partner Adam Farish discuss the whole 8Stem incubation process which originally just began as a friendship and later flourished into this piece of industry-changing technology. Bruce also opens up about the Sub Pop breakthrough, his early days at Chicago's Wax Trax Records and much much more. Thanks for checking out The Andy Derer Show!

Google I/O 2012 started yesterday and there are a lot of cool new gadgets, features and more coming your way all thanks to Google. The devices that were released were not so much of a big surprise considering most of the information was already leaked on the internet before the actual presentation took place. This doesn't mean that Google doesn't have some more tricks up their sleeves for the coming days of this developer conference. Today, the second day of the conference, there were a couple more newsworthy releases too, so go ahead and keep reading to see what is new from Google.
Along with all sorts of amazing updates to the android os, they have also made some new updates to how application updates work on the Android Market. Now when you update an app, you don't have to download the whole file, just the parts that changes. Google hopes this will cut down your bandwidth and battery usage and that sounds like a pretty cool way to give you more out of a device you already own to me!
Google's Social Streaming Media Device – Nexus Q
I must say to me this was probably the least exciting of the new products that Google released on the first day of Google I/O, but it is pretty neat all the same. Using this spherical shaped device, you can in effect allow all your friends to stream their own media from Google services directly to your device. It is setup for a party type queue. Everybody that you grant access to can use their own android device to queue their own music up on a shared playlist. It comes with a 25w amp and as cool as this sounds, it seems like it will never get off the ground with a $299 price tag.
New Google Tablet – The Nexus 7
The long awaited Google tablet is going to be available very soon. If you have been waiting for this one, it was well worth it. Asus has partnered with Google to create this very cool and very powerful 7″ tablet that will ship with the latest version of the Android OS (Jelly Bean). It would seem apparent that they are going to challenge the Kindle Fire market more than the Apple iPad with its smaller form factor. They are also going after a very competitive price point. The 8GB version will sell for $199 and the 16GB tablet will go for $249. When it comes to hardware this tablet offers a big quad-core Tegra processor and a 12-core GPU that should give this little mighty might enough power to run some amazing 3-d games and stream videos with no problems. Below you will find the original promo video, but you can learn even more about the Nexus 7 by watching the unboxing Nexus 7 video here.
Chrome For iOS Finally!
Here is another release that many Google fans have been waiting on for some time now. Their are so many browsers already available on the iPhone, but there is nothing like the Chrome browser and who wants a slow browser on their phone? The speed of this browser is yet to be documented, but many who have already downloaded this #1 free app in the iTunes App Store have already reported faster page load times than the Opera browser or Safari for iOS currently offers. This browser is forced to use the same backend code that Safari uses per Apple's so called security measures, but for some reason the page loads seem much snappier.
Using this cool browser you can also sync your open browser pages from any computer that you are currently logged into Chrome on. This means from the office to the car is seamless now and that is a cool feature. Also the ability to have many tabs open simultaneously without bogging down the browser seems to be another big thumbs up for those that need 20 tabs open to feel like they are browsing.
Skydiving With Google Glass
Google Glass has been a project in the works for some time and these space aged looking terminator glasses are getting one step closer to being something that is very awesome, but not quite there yet. The current Google Glass models only offer audio and video recording which was showcased at the conference when skydivers wore them as they plummeted to earth and people repelled down the side of walls. With these first person views that were streamed to a Google Hangout, really did turn some heads. They offered to sell some to developers for $1500 but they would not be shipped until early next year.
I am very excited about all the cool new stuff Google has showcased so far and there is still one day left in the Google I/O 2012 dev conference so it will be interesting to see what else they have in store too.
Let us know what you think about the Google news below!

Birth's Lottery
This is for my friend, Md Mukul.
He says God gave him this life and made his Papa poor.
My tongue thrashes in confinement of its cave,
bitterness drips down the drain of my throat,
ripples unsettle blackwater in my belly,
a cesspool of ungodliness.
He says people think he is only a migrant worker,
the thousandth architect of this diapered nation;
temperature-controlled conglomeration of cots,
pampered child of a newly dead man.
He says people never see that he has to
wire next month's dal to Papa's dining table,
whittle away the hard shells of strangers,
write his poems with dirt-smeared hands.
He says people never see that he can make
pigeons dance with his peace song,
bridges assemble in laughing rain,
stories unroll to carpet mountains.
Brother, my words are polished with blackwater shine,
bubbling from the place where God is dead,
where poverty tried to escape but man didn't let him,
turned him into a scarecrow stuck on infertile soil
to watch mothers make more mouths to feed.
Your words are marigolds,
fragrant parasite repellent tooth smiles,
hamsa hands shielding a wall of nails,
a boat that catches the sun before it descends
and rocks it to sleep on a sacred sea.
How dare I condescend your freeing faith,
the luminescence of predestination,
burn the blueprints of an unfinished construction site
and make your machine sit still?
How dare my blackwater belly growl in disbelief
and drown holy script in its septic tank,
spurt poison at hands throwing healing food
so they never reach the poor man's mouth?
Sorry I was born here instead of you.
Sorry my war is over and my books are read.
Sorry all my apologies are written
in red and white invisible ink.
Sorry for birth's lottery.

Clown Panic
Did you hear, did you hear, did you hear the news?
Death walks the streets wearing floppy shoes!
Tell your ma, tell your pa, tell cousin-in-law!
People need to hear the truth:
There are clowns all around and they're coming to get you!
I hear they go to children's parties!
I hear their seltzer's spiked with booze!
I hear they wear white paint to hide satanic face tattoos!
Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhh
Clown Panic!
Did you hear, did you hear, did you hear today?
The Sunshine show did an expose!
Clowns are the cancer that is eating our country's
Morals cornerstones away
There are clowns all around here to take down the USA!
I find their balloons are too suggestive!
My pastor says they have no souls!
I read there was a harlequin on the grassy knoll!
Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhh
Clown Panic!
Why must we live in fear?
Why must we lie awake?
We let them settle here
That was our mistake.
Let's close the borders, boot those sickos from our home!
Burn down the circuses! Boycott the rodeos!
Make them sign a registry, then throw them in a hole!
Clown Panic!
Did you hear, did you hear, did you hear the news?
America is great again and safe to boot!
We persevered and tamed our fears,
And it never got out of hand!
God bless our grand, clown-sanitized homeland!
Clowns! Clowns! Clowns!
Clowns! Clowns! Clowns!
Red nose!
Blood red!
Knock knock - you're dead!
All the better
To smell you BURN!
The seltzer's boiling and the pies have turned!
We were peaceful joke-lovers
Left for dead, now back for blood, we're
Tricked by the dental menace
Our new champion will avenge us
Clowns! Clowns! Clowns!
Clowns! Clowns! Clowns!
Ha ha!
Hee hee!
Kick you in your kidneys til there's blood in your pee!
Your sides split
Tears in my eyes
Because I'm laughing as you die!
We'll come when you least expect us
Whoopie pipe bombs during breakfast
Also when you most expect us -
Why did you sign up for that pie eating contest??
Who's the girl you fear the most?
Gets revenge for her daddy's ghost
Gonna hunt every last Dentite down.
Busts your guts, slaps off your knees
She's coming for you, so hold on to your teeth
That's your friend Elsa Clownita Brown…
Clowns! Clowns! Clowns!
Clowns! Clowns! Clowns!
I am the joke that kills
I'm cyanide in a happy pill
Clowns! Clowns! Clowns! Clowns!
Smash your funny bones to splinters
Laugh you 'til your belly blisters
Clowns! Clowns! Clowns! Clowns!

Justin Bieber delighted an elderly fan in New Zealand, by stripping off and dancing with her in a local bar.
The Sorry singer, 23, played in Auckland on Saturday (18Mar17), the only New Zealand date on his Purpose world tour.
Before jetting off to Chile to begin its South American leg on Thursday (23Mar), the star enjoyed some downtime in a local watering hole.
A video posted by the pop superstar on his Instagram page shows him delighting a group of elderly patrons by dancing with a female member of their party.
In the footage Bieber is stripped to the waist and leading his elderly dance partner along to a Jay Z and Kanye West song.
At the end of their brief waltz, he draws his companion close to him and gives her a huge hug.
Justin seemed more relaxed than he was in Australia earlier this month (Mar17) when he launched a foul-mouthed tirade at reporters and photographers while holidaying at Richard Branson's Makepeace Island Resort.
He later issued an apology for the outburst, saying he was "joking around" and doing an impression from Australian TV show Summer Heights High.
His Australian trip did have some high points however, as he threw a party on a boat in Melbourne and invited several women aboard, including reportedly Instagram model and married mother-of-one Kaysha Louise.
MailOnline reports the female partygoers were made to sign non-disclosure agreements and hand over their phones before joining the bash.

Dear Friends,
I apologise for there being no Friends Newsletter since Winter 2007. I had a medical emergency in September which put me in hospital for 2 weeks followed by a few months on reduced hours, which did not allow for doing a newsletter.
We have once again had a turnover in staff, and major developments in funding.
Friends Editor
The revised building plans have been accepted for the house at 34 Denne St and it is being used to conduct day and night courses while we are in discussion with builders.
LRCCS held a Practical weekend in Tamworth recently and used the Counselling Rooms on Ebsworth St, the Training Centre on Bridge St as well as the Denne St building to house students working on different areas of Counselling Practice.
The Tamworth Consortium of ACS, Centacare and Tamworth Family Support Services have won the tender for operating the Family Relationship Centre in Tamworth, with outreach around the North-West. The FRC will be opening its doors on July 1st. Larry has been attending many meetings and conferences to ensure that the consortium is stable and each participant is aware of their responsibilities.
Accreditation for the Responsible Gambling Fund (RGF), known as Quality Management Systems is rapidly drawing near. Wendy Long (Gambling Project Manager) has been furiously working on the journal ACS has to submit prior to the accreditation.
Since the last newsletter:
Ruth Blakely has been going out to Manilla to counsel fortnightly as part of the Manilla project. She has been getting 5 or 6 clients each visit, with very few not turning up.
Haidee's after school group and Mother's group are both going well, and she is planning a Breakfast Club at the Primary School.
February saw the first meeting of the newly elected Board of ACS. The member are:
James Croft (Chairman) — Uralla
Larry Apthorpe (Secretary, ex-officio) — Tamworth
Peter Capp — Spring Ridge
Peter Christmas — Tamworth
Paul Davey —Boggabri
Paul McFarlane (ex-officio) — Manilla
Wendy Smith — Tamworth
Liz Tomlinson —Narrabri
Graham Truscott — Armidale
There are two more appointments (one staff ex-officio) to be finalised.
Please keep these men and women in your prayers as they guide ACS in this time of change and growth.
Earlier this year the college received notification that the Degree and Diploma would no longer be recognised by the Board of Higher Education.
This was a great disappointment after all the work that had gone into preparing the submissions, but has galvanised the new Management Committee into analysing the Governance structure of the college.
They are going to be re-applying for recognition of the Diploma and are looking at ways of moving the students into a Degree programme from there.
Anglican Counselling Service, Executive Director: Larry Apthorpe

BP 'seeks investors to ward off predators'
Oil group BP is looking to sell up to £6bn of shares to strategic investors as part of a defence strategy to ward off hostile takeover bids, according to a report.
Oil group BP is looking to sell up to £6bn of shares to strategic investors as part of a defence strategy to ward off hostile takeover bids, according to a report.
The battered blue chip is believed to be sounding out sovereign wealth funds to take a stake of between 5 per cent and 10 per cent.
The Sunday Times report comes as pressure on the group shows no sign of letting up following the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster.
Speculation over an imminent management shake-up continues to swirl, as it is thought both chief executive Tony Hayward and chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg are preparing to head for the exit as soon as the leak is secured.
BP has now lost more than 50 per cent of its stock market value since the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded and sank on April 20, killing 11 workers and causing the worst US oil spill in history.
Its share price plunge has put the group at potential risk of an unwanted takeover approach from rivals such as Exxon Mobil or Royal Dutch Shell.
To secure its independence, BP is said to be hoping to strike a deal similar to that seen with Barclays at the height of the financial crisis.
Barclays avoided a government bail-out by raising more than £7 billion from wealthy foreign investors, including the state investment funds of Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
BP is said to be stepping up its takeover defence strategy as it comes closer to plugging the oil leak - after which it is thought to be most at risk of an approach.
The group is due to boost its containment cap system by putting a so-called flexible riser in place this week, which it hops will increase the amount of oil collected.
BP is also working on two relief wells to stop the leak, which should be completed next month.
However, the hurricane season poses a serious risk to response efforts, already costing BP billions of pounds.
Its last report on the bill so far showed BP had spent 2.65 billion US dollars (£1.7 billion), as well as setting aside a 20 billion dollar (£13.2 billion) compensation fund.

By somewhat smaller margins, voters are also opposed to eliminating the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (79 percent to 17 percent), the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (70 percent to 25 percent), and the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities (66 percent to 27 percent).
If the vote actually takes place in the House of Representatives on this piece of legislation tonight, it will be a test of how many Republicans are willing to drink the Trump/Ryan Kool-Aid and engage in an act that will go down in American political history as a mass political suicide.
One out of every seven Americans - 14% - believes they will lose their health insurance under the Republicans' replacement plan.
Half of all voters support a partial repeal of Obamacare.
Another question, even vaguer than the prior questions, showed that 55 percent of voters want Congress to "repeal parts" of Obamacare.
The GOP bill, entitled the American Health Care Act, would repeal Obamacare taxes, get rid of the requirement that most people have health coverage or face a fine, and scale back the subsidies for private individual health plans and federal Medicaid funding that are key components of the current health-care law.
Popular Video Congress just passed a drug testing law that has a lot of people outraged.
Overall, almost two-thirds of voters - or 61% - disapprove of the way Trump is handling health care, according to the poll.
Starting to fund a wall along the Mexican border is a "bad idea", voters say 64 - 35 percent.
Most voters, 61 per cent, also disapprove of the way President Donald Trump is handling health care.
Moderate Republicans began to oppose the bill after some Freedom Caucus concessions were made late Wednesday evening.
A large majority of all voters polled in the Quinnipiac survey, 74 percent, said they opposed cutting federal funding for Medicaid, while just 22 percent favored such cuts. The poll has a credibility interval, a measure of accuracy, of 3 percentage points for the entire group and 4 percentage points for the responses from Democrats and the Republicans. Another 13 percent said that was "somewhat important".
The Quinnipiac poll found that 85 percent of voters said it is "very important" for health insurance to be affordable to Americans.

Natural sea salt from Portugal – fine, unrefined, hand-picked
230 g - natural sea salt from Portugal – fine
This natural sea salt comes from the National Park on the coast of southern Portugal. Salt is formed by evaporation of sea water, salt is manually collected and dried in the sun and wind and then carefully packed. It does not undergo any refining processes and contains no additives. For manual production, chemical and microbiological quality is guaranteed by certificates SATIVA and CERTIPLANET.
Salt pans tradition dates back to Phoenician times. Later, the Romans improved it, but practically remained unchanged throughout 2000 years. Salt pans, where our salt comes from, were established according to the thousand-year tradition as part of the family business at the beginning of the twentieth century by the great-grandfather of the current owner and manufacturer.
Traditional manufacturing is based on a dry, hot climate and crafts workers.
During processing, harvesting or maintenance is not used heavy machinery. All processes are manual, using ancient methods and techniques. Our salt is created by the proces above and collected during the summer. This way of "manufacture" and collection, the salt retains its valuable minerals and trace elements naturally contained in sea water, especially magnesium, potassium, calcium, selenium, iodine, and many others.
Natural sea salt settles to the bottom of clay, crystallization pans through natural evaporation of sea water with a high salt concentration. Approximately after three weeks it is being harvested by traditional wooden "rake" and allowed to dry on the edge of the basin sun, in the form of a small hill. So it retains valuable minerals, trace elements and their typical residual moisture, which is called "Mother of Water" .This salt is suitable for everyday cooking.
• There are no post-harvest refined processes, ie:
* Salt is NOT chemically treated
* Salt is NOT crystallized again
* Salt is NOT artificially dried
• Natural sea salt contains no added substances
NaCl content of this natural product is generally between 95 to 98 percent, with the remaining percentage does not contain impurities such as refined salt forms, but rather consist of natural residual moisture on the sun-dried salt. This residual moisture is referred to as "Salt Mother" and in part serves as a support tool for countless minerals and trace elements naturally contained in sea water.
Conditions of natural sea salt
Indicators for truly unrefined natural sea salt are therefore: higher moisture content (between 3-8 percent) and a low content of NaCl and with only a slight level of soiling. Another great advantage against sophisticated types of salt is increased content of magnesium, calcium and potassium (among other minerals).
The used sea water can not be contaminated by industrial and agricultural contaminants (oil, soot, heavy metals, pesticides, nitrites, etc.) and even germs (bacteria, fungi etc.). As a control proof serves water analyzes and the extracted salts.
Manual production and harvesting
The whole process is based on the millennium tradition and it is practically unchanged. Crystallization takes place in small basins (4 x 9 m) impregnated with concentrated sea water and subsequently manually and carefully collected from the bottom of the pan (coarse-grained salt, which is finely grounded.
Conditions for the highest quality of hand-picked salts are therefore: clean sea water and thorough and careful harvesting. If these conditions are true, it is not necessary to wash the salt.
Is a natural sea salt better?
Anyone, who has a natural sea salt (as described above) tasted and compared with other types of salt, do not hesitate to answer this question "yes". But because of the individual's taste is hard to argue with that, there are a few facts:
• Natural sea salt highlights the flavor of food.
• Natural sea salt is valuable for health.
• Natural sea salt is produced in a sustainable way, which is beneficial for the environment, the economy and consumers.
Traditional production and harvesting of natural sea salt probably began in the days of the Phoenicians and remained almost unchanged throughout 2000 years.
While the establishment of many industrial salt fields changed the face of the coast of southern Portugal 40 years ago, the traditional salt pans contribute to the conservation of nature enhance its ecological value. Manual harvesting and maintenance minimize contamination of water and soil pollutants. Around the salt pans and in reservoirs concentrating the sea water lives countless halophilic (salt-loving) plants and birds. Water birds such as flamingos, herons, waders and many others here are nesting all around the year. Fish and crustaceans, which they live here, first they serve as food for birds, and secondly they are reliable bio-indicators of water safety.
More about sea salt you can also find out in the section NEWS, where you can find the whole treatise about production, processing, labeling, sea salt.

Salt is collected in Portugal on the coast of Atlantic Ocean in a nature reserve.

In the United States, we have come to incorporate food with entertainment and celebration. Go to a party ... eat appetizers. It's your birthday ... let's eat cake. Go to the movies ... grab the popcorn, candy and soda. It's no wonder, then, that so many of us turn to food when they need a pick-me-up, when they are bored or as a compliment to ANY situation. It becomes difficult, then, to separate food from our daily activities, when cutting calories is key to losing weight.
OBESITY EPIDEMIC: According to Lawrence Cheskin, M.D., director of the Johns Hopkins Weight Management Center in Baltimore, Md., two-thirds of the United States adult population is overweight or obese. This heavy issue can have dramatic effects on one's health ... and even their life.
"Each generation has lived longer than the one before it, and now we may be seeing a reversal of that trend because of something that is potentially correctable," Dr. Cheskin said.
KEEPING THE WEIGHT OFF: They say, "Old habits die hard." The same holds true for eating habits. Many people who lose weight will say losing it was the easy part. It's keeping it off that's tough.
"People need to be aware that there's not just initially doing the strict diet and losing weight," Dr. Cheskin said. "They really need to step back and see where the habits come from, and what they need to change for the long term so that they have a diet for the rest of their lives that helps them maintain the right body weight for their size."
The next time you're eating, ask yourself why. If it's not because you're hungry, you may want to put the snacks down and get busy. Find new outlets for your boredom and emotions. Take a walk. Call a friend. Read a book. Do things that are difficult to eat and do at the same time. Eventually, you'll wean yourself off of eating for fun or for habit and find you turn to other activities and outlets first.

Buy To Let Changes
From 30th September there are more changes coming for Buy To Let borrowing. Hot on the heels of the changes introduced earlier this year the second tranche kicks in this month.
Many lenders are already adapting and asking questions in advance of the changes to affordability calculations.
The new regulations are aimed at reducing irresponsible lending in the buy to let sector, the Bank of England (specifically the Prudential Regulation Authority) are placing new, tougher requirements on lenders from 30th September. These include the interest rates-dependent 'stress test' on new mortgage applications.
The big change is that lenders will need to review a landlord's entire property portfolio when making a decision on their single property application. This will hit multi-property landlords hardest, especially if one or two of your properties aren't turning a profit or are just about washing their own face.
Remember that landlords have already has the changes to stamp duty to contend with, so these changes are something else to make life a little bit harder.
As with any change to regulation there comes a large grey area. If you have a portfolio where some properties are making a profit and other are not, is this going to be acceptable? Some lenders will look at income across the whole portfolio, others will not.
If one thing is certain then the days of simple buy to let mortgages are probably gone. Mortgage advice now is probably more essential than ever.
Limited Companies
First things first, limited companies are not for everyone. What the limited company option does deliver is buy to let lending outside of the new regulations. Lenders will still be monitored so expect a similar structure to how mortgages are assessed, but you can also expect a little more leeway in the affordability calculations.
The increase in company buy to let demand has seen lenders increase their offering to this market, Charlotte Nelson of Moneyfacts said;
"As the reality of April's tax changes starts to bite, the proportion of deals available to limited companies has grown dramatically, having increased by 7% in just six months… With the extra pressure in the BTL market and the added interest in limited companies, it is no surprise that lenders have leapt into action and started offering more deals to limited companies"
There is definitely a trend with more limited company applications being seen.
What To Do
The days of applying for a buy to let mortgage based on the income of that property in isolation are gone. Landlords need to understand their whole portfolio and the income it generates.
As always, the way a lender (and regulator) will assess the portfolio is different from how the landlord will. The key is for the landlord to provide a full picture of their portfolio, making things easy for the lender to understand and to justify lending will be more important than ever.
The spreadsheet below allows a landlord to summarise their portfolio, detail the income and the mortgage levels. The spreadsheet will allow a lender to have an immediate oversight of the portfolio and should cover most of the requirements post the new regulations.
Download the portfolio spreadsheet here
For any questions about the new changes or you want to know the best options for property finance then please get in touch or add your comments and I can respond.

PHCA: K-12 + Preschool
tuition/fee schedule
There is a cost associated with all types of education. Some costs are financial, others are not so tangible. It is definitely a sacrifice for some families to send their children to a Christian school, but parents must keep the end result of their child's education in perspective when considering the cost.
Descriptions and details of each of the required costs of your child's education at Plaza Heights Christian Academy are outlined below, but to see a simple chart of costs, please click on one of the two links below:
2018-2019 Tuition/Fee Schedule
Monthly Payments
A variety of payment plans are available. All payments must be completed by April of the current school year and are due on the 15th of the month. A late fee of $20 will be assessed for any monthly tuition payment received after the 25th of the month. Any family that falls behind more than one month will be withdrawn from school. There will be a $20 fee assessed for any returned check. We reserve the right to place an account on automatic draft to ensure prompt monthly payments.
Withdrawal Policy
In the case of a withdrawal from PHCA (Preschool-12th grade), a full month's tuition is due for any partial month that the student attended. Accounts must be paid in full before records will be released or transferred.
Financial Aid
It is the desire of the school board that the opportunity of a Christian education be available to anyone who desires it. To that end, we have contracted with SMART AID for Student Tuition to determine if a family qualifies for financial assistance. Click HERE to apply online for Financial Aid through SMART AID. Click HERE for Information on what is needed to apply for SMART AID.
We also offer discounts to families with more than one child attending PHCA. Families in full-time ministry of an evangelical church, and those who are full-time ministerial students are also given a discount.
Fees Outline
IMPORTANT NOTE: All fees are non-refundable and must be paid before any discounts can be applied to tuition.
Application Fee: (non-refundable)
A one-time application fee is for students making first-time application to the school. This fee must accompany the application.
Enrollment Fee: (non-refundable)
For new families, the enrollment fee is due within two weeks of acceptance but not later than the first day of classes. The enrollment fee for returning families is due when the application is submitted.
Book Fee: (non-refundable)
The book fee pays for expendable books such as workbooks and test booklets, reusable textbooks, teacher's books and classroom curriculum aids. Students may be charged an additional fee for lost books or books that show excesive wear or damage.
Testing, Trips & Activities Fee: (non-refundable)
This fee helps defray costs for labs, field trips, special classroom activities, TerraNova testing and scoring in the spring, etc.
Tuition Management Fee: (non-refundable)
The tuition management fee covers the cost of setting up an account for your family to make monthly payments. A tuition management company maintains all of our accounts and collects on unpaid accounts, which benefits all our families. This fee may be waived if paying in full before the first day of school.
As stated in the Admissions Policy, a child is not considered enrolled until all fees are paid. After July 15th, any spot being held by an enrollment fee only will be considered open to our waiting list.
Late Fees:
Monthly tuition payments are due on the 1st, 10th, 15th or 20th of the month. A late fee of $20 will be assessed for any monthly tuition payment received after 10 grace period. Any family that falls behind more than one month will be withdrawn from school. If any account is suspended for non-payment, there will be a $25 reinstatement fee charged.

While getting ready on Friday night I tuned into "Hope for Haiti Now". Over 25 networks worldwide aired the 2-hour telethon, organized by George Clooney. I honestly just sat on my couch and cried as celebrities told stories of individuals suffering in Haiti. Anderson Cooper reported live from Haiti throughout the night, interviewing children who were rescued days after the earthquake only to learn all of their family members had been killed. My heart aches for Haiti. I feel sick inside when I watch the news or read articles about the fatalities. Besides setting a record for the most money raised by a disaster relief telethon, the charity's Hope for Haiti album - featuring performances on the telethon by Beyonce, Rihanna, Jay-Z, Madonna, T. Swift, Bruce Spingsteen, Christina Aguilera, Coldplay, etc., became the largest one-day album pre-order in iTunes history. Quite impressive.
I can't believe the tragedy. With death estimates ranging from 50,000-200,000, bodies were first piled in front of the morgue, just to be relocated to mass graves. Most are unidentifiable. All are laid to rest without proper Haitain burial rituals, an extremely significant aspect of their culture. Haitians are known to spend more money on burial procedures than their living conditions.
A recent NY Times article quoted Anderson Cooper one of the first nights he arrived in Haiti. "Hug a loved one close and thank God you are not in Port-au-Prince tonight."
I hear it's caos. I hear survivors are struggling to find food, water, and adequate medical attention. I can't even imagine the difficulties they are facing. And as I sit in my comfortable apartment I feel guilty. I feel fortunate. I feel blessed. I wonder how I got so lucky.
Haiti, I am so sorry. I cry for you. I pray for you. My heart goes out to you. There are people everywhere pulling for you.

The ministry of labour and employment has set timelines to ensure 100% Aadhaar seeding in Universal Account Number (UAN) database of Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) by end of December this year. Here are the benefits of seeding Aadhaar number in UAN:
The Aadhaar number issued by UIDAI is one of the important KYCs being seeded to extend a number of services to the member.
UAN links all multiple member ident-ification numbers into a single number. The member is required to provide the same on joining new establishment.
The EPF has made it mandatory to provide Aadhaar card as KYC document while applying for the scheme.
Linking Aadhaar details with UAN is a safe and trusted mode of verifying the details of each employee efficiently.
Seeding of Aadhaar with UAN works as proof of identity and proof of address and reduces the duplicacy of accounts.
With UAN, employees can have online access to his provident fund account.
After logging into the account by UAN and password, user can update KYC with Aadhaar details and submit a scanned copy of the card.
For transfer of money from PF account to the bank account, Aadhaar number is a necessary document to verify and validate the identity of the employee.
On verification of Aadhaar and PAN, money from PF account is transferred into employee's savings account.
At present, for 7.95 crore UAN issued by EPFO only 1.82 crore Aadhaar numbers of members have been uploaded and only 1.5 crore Aadhaar numbers of members have been digitally verified by employers.

Before handling radioactive material under the University of Cincinnati Radiation Control and Safety Program (RCSP) individuals must complete site specific training provided by the Radiation Safety Office (RSOf). Also, the individual must complete lab-specific training provided by the authorized user(s).
Site-specific training provided by the RSOf consists of two courses called "Basic" and "Advanced". Experienced users of radioactive material may attempt to pass out of the "Basic" course by taking the "Challenge Test". After completing or passing out of the "Basic" course, all individuals must attend the "Advanced" course. The "Advanced" course covers policies and procedures under the RCSP. A schedule of courses is available on the RSOf website at Radiation Safety.
The "Basic" and "Advanced" courses for radioactive material (RAM) radiation workers are approximately three hours each.
All retraining courses are approximately one hour.
The "Initial Health Care Worker Certification" course is approximately three hours.
RAM radiation workers must attend training, once each calendar year, as
outlined in UC's Ohio Department of Health license of broad scope.
Therefore, someone attending in December and then the immediately
following January could conceivably meet their training requirement for
two years in a matter of a week. However, it is recommended the training sessions be separated by at least several months with the ideal
situation being 12 months plus or minus one month.

Gigi & Bella Hadid Support Sister Alana at 'Lou & Grey' Launch
Gigi Hadid looks stunning with an updo and smokey eyes while attending her sister Alana's Lou & Grey launch event during 2016 New York Fashion Week on Wednesday night (February 10) in New York City.
The ladies were also joined by their younger sister Bella and their dad Mohamed.
"[Gigi and Bella] each have their own style and they're so on it, but I get a few text messages where they're like 'What do you think of this?'" Alana told Glamour. "We talk to each other every day, we have our sister chat and 'I'll say ooh I love this' or they'll say, 'I'm doing this, what to you think?' Sometimes, they'll be, like, 'What shoes do I wear with this?' All sisters get to do that with each other but it's fun because we get to have a little more fun with it."
Also pictured below: Bella is a plaid beauty on the March 2016 cover of Allure magazine.
FYI: Gigi is wearing an August Getty Atelier coat.

I admit that this doesn't make for the prettiest picture, but it was a delicious way to eat eggplant, onion, carrot and summer squash! I added some tofu for a filling vegetarian/vegan dinner. I always make my own sauce. I think the pre-made ones are usually too sweet, and this lets me adjust it how I like it. This time I went a little overboard on the rice wine vinegar, oops, but it was fine mixed with everything else and toned down by some brown sugar.

Box 5 report card
This is terribly late, I know, but I am going with 'better late than never.' Plus, luckily I had noted in the Box 6 post that I had used most of the ingredients from 5.
The problem might be remembering what exactly I did with each one.
Canteloupe: Sliced and eaten
Okra: Used in Levantine Okra Stew. A friend suggested the recipe, and here is what mine looked like:
Sweet potato greens: Part went into a smoothie and part… I distinctly remember cutting up, but neither me nor my Designated Dishwasher can remember what they went into. It worked, though!
Sweet peppers: Eaten with hummus and tuna or blended up with water to reconstitute dry soup. It made it really good, and added a lot of flavor that the soup kind of lacked on its own. Would also be great with condensed tomato soup!
Butternut Squash: Put into a Lamb Tagine (thick stew), delicious.
Spearmint: Preserved three ways! Unfortunately, the 'mint extract' way was quite a spectacular failure. It tastes like minty grass, and looks like lake water. I have no idea what went wrong. I've already used the dried mint in tea a few times, and that is a huge success.
Eggplant: Sliced, tossed in oil & balsamic, and roasted. I had directions from my friend, who didn't mention peeling them first. You should really peel them, the skin was inedible after being roasted.
Yukon potatoes: Latkes!
Onions: Latkes! Also chopped and put into the cavity of a whole chicken, which was cooked in the crockpot.
Jalapeños: Used in the whole crockpot chicken. Another went into the tagine, I believe.
Box 7 – Week of August 25
Classes started again this week (awww, so sad!) and I am going to blame that on why I didn't post this yet. I will also use it as an excuse for not posting pictures I took last week… but I'll post those at some point.
I was a little bit…. unsure what to think when I saw the sweet potato leaves and the basil once again, but luckily I had invited over a couple of friends to bake on our last day before classes, and one of them suggested that I make basil bread! If the sweet potato greens are still good I'll probably sauté those tonight. And if they've gone bad…. then that's just another greens fail on my part.
On the other hand, I was happy to get some purple onions, that is a nice, but subtle, change, as well as the carrots and butternut squash. In fact, having a lower green ratio somehow made the whole box seem more approachable.
In the next two weeks we will be eating:
Basil, Butternut squash, Sweet potato greens
Okra, Cucumber, Carrots
Eggplant, hot peppers (it didn't say what kind! They look too skinny to be jalapeños, anyone know?)
Red onion, Zucchini, Beets
If anyone recognizes those peppers, let me know! We'll see how well I do using up this box.
Box 6 – Week of August 11
I finished off (almost?) everything from the last box before this one arrived! But more on that in another post. Here is what we are looking at for the next two weeks.
This is what we are seeing:
Melon (cantaloupe-like), arugula, yellow squash
Okra, butternut squash, onions
Sweet potato greens, basil, carrots
Eggplant, pepper mix
I am very excited about the carrots, I realized with the last bunch that they are ridiculously good with just some olive oil. I hope we'll see some actual sweet potatoes soon, too.
Box 4 Report Card: C
Awwww, it's so sad that I failed some of my poor vegetables AGAIN! It was the sweet potato leaves that met the trash this time. Although I got more this week that I plan to throw into smoothies and devour after sautéeing them in bacon grease. Mmmmmm!
I also ended up tossing a banana pepper from who knows when and two little squash guys. Maybe this box itself is better than I am thinking right now and my attitude is just affected by forgetting about the veggies that got soft and fuzzy.
Here is how I ended up using this box:
Basil – part of it was dried and stuck into the cabinet, another part was in tomato sauce
Cherry tomatoes – all eaten quickly!
Eggplant – more zaalouk! It's my Designated Dishwasher's favorite.
Watermelon – drank. Went down wonderfully.
Okra – Oven roasted!
Pepper mix – Some eaten multiple ways: With hummus, with tuna, with salad. Some still waiting for its chance in my belly.
Arugula – This stuff is SOOO much stronger than what you get in the store! It's great, but needs to be tamed by other greens. I tried to have an arugula salad the first day and it was a bad plan. I was getting sick that day and the arugula did not help it. Bad thoughts just thinking about it. But tasty stuff, and amazingly still looks edible, yay!
Sweet potato greens – Some eaten with rice and chicken, some… met the trash can after they got brown. Sad and gross. Their friends from this week have already entered a smoothie, though. Progress!
Box 5 – Week of July 28
When my box came today, I had to do a sad thing. Go to the fridge and make room… because there were things that had become inedible hiding in the vegetable drawer. That's why my mom calls in the "vegetable rot drawer" – when it's closed, sometimes it's easy to forget that they are hiding in there. Today it was a banana pepper, two little squashed, a bell pepper and sweet potato greens that were sent to the dumpster. This blog is supposed to remind me not to do that! I've put updating this blog on my calendar now, so maybe that will help?? We can hope.
Today's box is beautiful! Do I always say that? I may need more adjectives… It smells fantastic due to the spearmint in it.
Today we have:
Canteloupe (still muddy!), okra, sweet potato greens
Onions, jalapenos, sweet peppers, butternut squash
Spearmint, eggplant, yukon gold potatoes
I know that the last sweet potato greens died, but it wasn't because they were bad, I just forgot about them. I ate some! I'll do better this time, I swear.
Any ideas on what to do with the spearmint?? It smells wonderful, I want to think of something fun.
Box 3 update
Well, I have definitely been using the veggies from box 3, I just haven't posted about it yet. The thing is that I was so busy enjoying the foods that I didn't even get the pictures taken!
So, starting with the things I shared at a fourth of July party:
First up, tomato cucumber salad with basil. It was something like the ones at the following links:
This one adds avocado and cheese, which sound like fun additions, but I didn't use red onion like she did for breath reasons
This one from PeTA is actually a lot like what I did, but I added some olive oil as well. (sidenote: who knew they had recipes??)
Next, we have grilled okra. I never thought to grill it before, but it was great! Just brush on olive oil and it was fantastic.
Eggplant made a lovely zaalouk, you can find a fun video by a Moroccan woman here, or you can read it on her blog here
Serrano peppers – Most of them have been used, in various dishes that need spicing up.
Bell peppers – I have been eating them straight for lunch or as a snack with hummus.
This box has been really successful so far, I might even finish it before the next one arrives on Tuesday!
As a parting thought, here is the double zucchini muffin from the last box. I just doubled the zucchini called for (3 cups instead of 1.5) and even Designated Dishwasher liked them!

ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Two suspects with guns robbed a credit union in north St. Louis County Monday morning.
According to a spokesman for the St. Louis County Police Department, the incident took place around 9:30 a.m. at Vantage Credit Union located in the 11600 block of West Florissant Avenue.
Police said the suspects approached a worker attempting to fix the ATM and demanded money. They left in an unknown direction with an undisclosed amount of cash in what's believed to be a white Dodge Durango, with Colorado license plates.
Police are urging witnesses to come forward if they saw or know anything. They are hoping surveillance video may reveal more clues about who the suspects are.

Sir John Mayhew-Sanders, who has died aged 82, encountered a dramatic reversal of fortune as chairman of the engineering group John Brown; he was also a leading spokesman for Anglo-Soviet trade.
An accountant and management consultant by background, Mayhew-Sanders joined John Brown in 1972. Once famed as a shipbuilder — Lusitania and Queen Elizabeth II were launched from its Clydebank yard — the company had evolved into a manufacturer of pipelines, gas turbines and machine tools.
Mayhew-Sanders was appointed chief executive in 1975, at the beginning of a sustained recovery in industrial activity after the deep mid-1970s recession; for the rest of the decade John Brown was admired as a leading British exporter whose shares repeatedly topped the list of the London market's best performers.
Credited with driving this resurgence, Mayhew-Sanders was promoted to executive chairman in 1978. He succeeded the 3rd Lord Aberconway — who had been a director since 1939 and whose father and grandfather had also been chairman — and inherited a passive and rather elderly non-executive board which left him to run the company in an increasingly autocratic style described by one source as "a rod of iron".
At first all went well: after the announcement of record profits for 1978, the new chairman was described as "revelling in a remarkable run of good fortune". But as economic conditions deteriorated again, profits began to fall away, debts mounted and an ill-timed rights issue in 1981 stirred unease among institutional investors.
A series of US acquisitions by Mayhew-Sanders on the machine-tool side of the business failed to live up to their promise. And the company became entangled in a political row over a £100 million contract to supply turbines for a gas pipeline from Siberia to Europe which the US government tried to impede as part of its sanctions regime against Moscow.
Impending boardroom strife was signalled in June 1982 by the election as vice-chairman of Sir John Cuckney, a former MI5 officer and celebrated troubleshooter who had previously rescued the Crown Agents. A year later a £27 million loss was announced — chiefly in the machine-tool division — and Mayhew-Sanders was forced out under a barrage of City criticism as well as pressure from the Bank of England.
A five-year rolling contract might have entitled him to a "golden farewell" of £360,000, but he settled for half. "A manager who runs his company with such a distinctly dominant style," wrote one commentator, "can only bite the bullet when things go wrong."
Cuckney grasped the helm, slashed loss-making activities and steered the group back from the brink. Its surviving engineering division was acquired by Trafalgar House in 1986.
John Reynolds Mayhew-Sanders was born on October 25 1931. Brought up in Berkshire, he was educated at Epsom College and the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth . He completed an Engineering degree at Jesus College, Cambridge, while serving in the Royal Navy until 1955. He then took articles in his father's Oxford Street accountancy practice.
Having qualified, he joined PE-Consulting, where he became a director in 1968. He was responsible for the firm's northern clients, specialising in management issues arising from mergers.
Despite the challenges of John Brown's Siberian contract, Mayhew-Sanders was convinced of the prospects for British exporters in Russia. From 1982 to 1988 he was president of the British-Soviet Chamber of Commerce, which maintained a busy programme of trade missions and an upbeat message despite a rising tide of anti-Soviet sentiment in the West. On the Chamber's 70th anniversary in 1986 Mayhew-Sanders wrote of "growing opportunities to create a better climate of understanding" through trade.
During his John Brown tenure, Mayhew-Sanders was also a director of the nationalised car maker Rover (formerly British Leyland) — where he was at one stage tipped as a successor to its combative chairman, Sir Michael Edwardes — and of Dowty, the aircraft equipment maker.
He was a member of the British Overseas Trade Board and the board of the Engineering Employers' Federation. He also served as a vice-president of the Institute of Export.
Mayhew-Sanders returned briefly to the corporate arena as chief executive of Samuelson, a supplier of film and television equipment, in 1987, and was chairman of the UK arm of the US headhunters Heidrick & Struggles. He was also a governor of Sadler's Wells Foundation. For relaxation he enjoyed astronomy and music.
John Mayhew-Sanders was knighted for services to exports in 1982.
He married, in 1958, Sylvia Colling, who died in 1995; they had three sons and a daughter.
Sir John Mayhew-Sanders, born October 25 1931, died November 1 2013

Thunderball (1965)
Originally intended to be the first James Bond film,Thunderball became the centre of complicated legal battles extending from the early 1960's to the present. Former Ian Fleming collaborators Kevin McClory and Jack Whittingham had sued the author following the 1961 publication ofThunderball, claiming Fleming had based the novel on elements of a screenplay the trio had created years before in an unsuccessful attempt to bring 007 to the big screen. Eventually, the lawsuit was settled out of court and McClory retained certain screen lights to the novel. By now, James Bond was a box-office sensation, and Broccoli and Saltzman did not envy the thought of McClory making a rival production over which they had no control. Thus, an agreement was made in which McClory would receive producer's credit for a screen version of Thunderball, and Broccoli and Saltzman would act as executive producers.
Thunderball was granted a $5.6 million budget by United Artists, the same studio which originally was reluctant to spend $1 million on Dr No. Times had changed, however, and Bond was the leading pop culture icon. By early 1965, when principal photography began, the 007 films had already spawned legions of imitators both on television and on the big screen. The producers knew they had to demonstrate that a genuine Bond movie had scope and spectacle which could never be replicated by the impersonators. With Thunderball, the Bond films became truly epic.
The film is somewhat controversial among Bond scholars. Some feel it is too long and even director Terence Young complained that the abundance of underwater sequences slowed the pace. For most fans, however, Thunderball is top-flight entertainment filled with eye-popping locales, exotic women and exceptional photography, music and sound effects. If there is a negative element in the film, it is the increasing reliance on hardware and technology. Sean Connery was correct in noting that Bond was becoming less interesting as a character and falling victim to the emphasis on gadgets and stunts. He complained that he was tiring of Bond mania and looked forward to leaving the series to stretch his acting skills in other types of films. Nevertheless, Thunderball emerged as one of the top-grossing films of all time. Although critics were starting to take a dim view of the emphasis on hi-tech hardware, even the normally staid New York Times found the film's merits so impressive that it chose Thunderball as one of the year's ten best movies.
Mission Assignment (may contain spoilers)
Under the guidance of its number two operative, Emilio Largo, SPECTRE hijacks two atomic bombs from a British Vulcan aircraft during a NATO training exercise off the coast of Nassau. An ultimatum is delivered to the prime minister of England threatening to use the bombs to destroy a major city in Britain or the USA unless an exorbitant ransom is paid. In a desperate race against time, M assigns 007 to the Bahamas to thwart SPECTRE. Bond makes the acquaintance of Largo, who poses as a wealthy legitimate businessman, and seduces his mistress, Domino Derval, who ultimately plays a key role in helping Bond discover the bombs.
Agent 007 learns that Largo and an underwater army are transporting the atomic bombs to Miami Beach, the intended target of their attack. He and a group of US Navy Aquaparas defeat the SPECTRE armada in a spectacular underwater battle. Largo escapes on his hydrofoil yacht, the Disco Volante and in a pitched fight with Bond gains the upper hand before ultimately being assassinated by Domino. The disarmed bombs are finally destroyed when the Disco Volante crashes, leaving Bond and Domino to be rescued at sea.
Thunderball was shot primarily in the Bahamas, where producer Kevin McClory resided. Consequently, McClory was able to suggest suitable locations for many key sequences of the film. Principal Photography centred on Nassau (where the local government staged a special out-of-season carnival - the 'Junkanoo' parade) and adjoining Paradise Island. The home of a local millionaire couple - The Sullivans - served as Largo's estate, Palmyra, and the SPECTRE underwater assault begins in the grounds of the home of another millionaire, Huntington Hartford. Paradise Island so en-charted Sean Connery that he now maintains a permanent residence there. The pre-credits jet pack sequence was filmed at the Chateau d'Anet near Paris, while interiors were shot at Pinewood Studios in England.

Cast and Characters
Marketing, Merchandising & Box Office
Following the world-wide success of Goldfinger, the public's appetite for all things relating to Bond became insatiable, with sales of the Fleming novels during the mid-sixties hitting over 6 million in the USA alone. Suddenly, 007's licence to kill was also a licence to print money as manufacturers around the world sought to tie in their products with the screen's most famous secret agent. By the time Thunderball was released in late 1965, it was virtually impossible to go into a shop without seeing the now-famous '007 gun logo' emblazoned on products of every description. Fans could wear 007 shoes, raincoats, aftershave and even underwear.
The Gilbert company of the USA was probably the most prolific manufacturer of James Bond toys. Their extensive range included a series of miniature figurines, twelve-inch dolls, watches and cars. The Gilbert 007 Road Race Set, an elaborate slot car layout, was sold exclusively through Sears catalogue in 1965. However, it was discovered that a large majority of these sets had a manufacturer's defect which prevented them from working. The ensuing returns eventually bank-rupted Gilbert. (Ironically, the set today sells for up to £1,000 on the collectors' circuit,.) In England, Lone Star Toys produced an array of toy guns, gadgets and accessory sets.
'And the kitchen sink', says 007 as he is about to enter the underwater battle wearing a virtual arsenal of hi-tech gadgetry. The same 'kitchen sink' philosophy applied to the marketing campaign for Thunderball. Virtually all the stops were pulled out to ensure that the public recognised this as 'The Biggest Bond of all'. In the USA, the television documentary The Incredible World of James Bond was aired four weeks prior to the film's release and was the highest-rated programme of the week. Ford Motor Company produced a tongue-in-cheek car look at the destruction of Count Lippe's car with the short film A Child's Guide to Blowing Up a Motorcar. Three of the most prominent US publications - Playboy, Life and Popular Science - devoted cover stories to the movie, whilst nearly every magazine across Europe featured Thunderball-007 article. The film as even too big for one advertising campaign. Artists Robert McGinnis and Frank McCarchy were employed to create the now classic series of film posters which alerted fans to 'Look Up! Look Down! Look Out!'.

In reply to:
Re: Armitta Abbott married William Pooley
Hi John: In reference to William Vipond Pooley as mentioned in your follow-up. Two things interest me. I am looking for cousins in Illinois who might be connected to my grandfather Nicholas Vipond who married Matilida Harrison Logan at DuQuain Illinoisaround 1866-7. He is reputed to have come to Missouri and Illinois because he had relatives who helped him to find employment in the mining industry. William is an on-going family name. Do you know where the Vipond- Pooley connection occurs? My second interest is connecting with any Vipond's in Illinois. Thank you for any insights you might have. Sincerely Velma

Along With Their Big Bucks, Rich Donors Want to Give Charities Their Two Cents
Warren Buffett's decision to hand over tons of money to a trusted organization is an old-school way of charitable giving: Take this check, put it to good use.
Increasingly, though, wealthy donors are opting for a more hands-on approach, giving money on the condition that the charity take their management advice, too. In many cases, fledgling nonprofits, in exchange for new funding, agree to let benefactors overhaul their business models, make personnel changes and install financial controls....
